New Delhi, June 20 (PTI): The Income tax department has charged family members of Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad under the Benami Transactions Act in connection with its probe into land deals worth Rs 1,000 crore. A total of nine plots in Phulwari Sharif in Patna, where a mall is reported to have been coming up, has also been attached by the tax department. Tax department officials had said Prasad's kin held some of the properties in a “benami” way. ”BJP mein himmat nahi hai ki Lalu ki awaz ko daba sake... Lalu ki awaz dabayenge to desh bhar me karoron Lalu khare ho jayenge... Main gidarbhabhki se nahi darne wala hoon (BJP does not have the courage to stifle my voice... If it tries to silence one Lalu, crore of Lalu will come forward.
